California should flourish.

But right now, our cost of living is insane, wildfires rage, homelessness is everywhere, and red tape chokes our ability to solve any of it.

I’m 6th generation Californian Dick Lucas and I’m running for State Assembly to unshackle California.

This is the best sci fi tv show of all time. Fourth ep just dropped.

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.

Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

Ezra is legit. Also took major heat from his own side for mourning Kirk's death.

A few months back Ezra Klein gave a theory of social media and politics that I haven't been able to stop thinking about.

"Whoever wins Twitter pays for it 3-4 years later."

It is peek europoor socialist slop to lecture Americans on our democracy when their entire continent is becoming absolutely irrelevant due to socialist policies of massive taxation and absolute hate of the private sector- which is the only thing that can save them.

Fuck off.

You just spent $33 million to defeat a democratic vote in California on a very mild and reasonable proposal to apply a one-off tax of 5% on billionaires who can well afford to pay it, given you all currently pay a far lower effective tax rate than the rest of us. You and your fellow ultra-rich between you spent $400 million on this campaign - the largest sum ever spent by one side in a US ballot initiative or midterm election.

What you and the other billionaires bought with that $400 million was 'an extraordinary array of schemes to manipulate the vote' as @gabriel_zucman puts it. As he describes in the thread below 👇🏼, what you and the other billionaires did to sabotage this puny 5% tax on wealth is 'staggering'.

So don't come to us the day after that proposal got voted down thanks to that $400 million campaign with whimsical musings about the health of US democracy.

You know as well as the rest of us do that to talk of healthy democracies in societies where extreme wealth buys extreme political power is fanciful.

@Espertma_ 西方民主只不过是在一群演员中选出演技最好的演员。西方民主制度的两大漏洞：1.只在选演员的过程中民主，而不是在具体决策中民主，2.智者和傻逼的投票权平等，而且傻逼在人数上有绝对优势
